Donald Trump insists the loud booing at the NBA finals was actually enthusiastic cheers, if you were wondering just how delusional Tangerine Grandpa is today
Donald Trump’s big night out at the NBA finals game three, between the NY Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, obviously wasn’t the thrill-a-minute occasion he was expecting, if scenes like this are anything to go by.
WOW. Trump fell asleep at MSG during Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Fair play to him for managing to nod off with all the cheering and yelling that goes on at a basketball game. It’s quite an achievement.
He might not have been able to grab 40 winks if this had still been going on.
🚨HUMILIATING: Donald Trump is MASSIVELY booed at Madison Square Garden the minute his face is shown on screen.

Did anybody think there’d be any other outcome for the least popular president since polling began?
JUST IN: Trump’s overall approving rating hits 27%.
The lowest for any president since Richard Nixon the week he resigned.

However, Captain Denial wasn’t having any of it when asked how he felt about the reception he got from the crowds.
Trump tells reporters he was cheered at the Knicks game:
I thought it was very good. It was certainly amazing. I think mostly cheers. It was loud. And it was very enthusiastic pic.twitter.com/kWIxA84FoT— Acyn (@Acyn) June 9, 2026
‘Mostly cheers’ doing some Olympic-level heavy lifting there.
The chinny reckon was visible from space.

Reporter: "People booed you."
Trump: "Actually they were cheering."
Reality and Trump continue their long-distance relationship. 😂🔥🏀
